Thanks for all the comments. I'm not expecting myself to do much annotations and bouncing around. I've ordered the Kindle keyboard and expect it to arrive sometime this week. I've purchased the M-edge New Yorker case that is currently on sale with a free LED light, hopefully that will suffice.
My eyes have been a little wonky lately, perhaps long-sightedness is creeping in.
Well, it's good to be able to adjust the font size on an e-reader!
